Goldeneye still present as of 2pm this afternoon. A small flock of Wigeon circled the lake for several minutes and I was starting to wonder why they weren't landing, and then a pair of Peregrine Falcons flew in. They landed in the dead tree and were harassed by Magpies before heading off. Also seen: Cormorant, Shelduck, Grey Heron, Coot, Mallard, Tufted Duck, hybrid Goose, and ~200 Canada Geese.
